@build_in_public: Semrush charges $139 a month. Ahrefs charges $129 a month. A guy named Ben built the open source alternative that you can run on your computer. It's called OpenSEO. Enter a competitor's website. It reveals the keywords bringing them traffic, the pages winning those searches, the backlinks helping them rank. Enter your own site. It tracks rankings, crawls technical problems, reads Search Console, shows whether ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews mention your brand. Then connect Claude or Codex. Your agent can pull the real numbers, compare opportunities, cluster keywords. The hosted version starts at $10 a month. You no longer need permission to own the tool. And this is what it looks like. OpenSEO. It is going so viral right now. #searchengineoptimization #seo #digitalmarketing #martech

OpenSEO needs a DataForSEO API key so that you can get SEO data. You pay them directly when self hosting.
nothing new and you pay your request... few bucks but clearly less than Big Major tools

Come on, all this open source BS relies on some closed source API that you pay for.

I’m tired of all these AI reporters. None of them actually take the time and tell you facts.

The thing i like most about OpenSEO it has an MCP server and agent skills.
That means instead of you sitting in an SEO dashboard clicking around, an AI agent such as Claude Code or Codex can operate the SEO system for you. OpenSEO describes itself as an SEO tool for both you and your AI agent how cool is that?

they charge that because of the features that openseo doesn't. openseo will never justify trying to charge those prices 🤣 openseo is a basic scanner there are 100's of them. self promotion isn't it really
